Mean Streak needs 3 bench trains like The Beast so at least a few people can have a good ride.(The people who ride in the middle seats.)

--------------------

if you ride in the front row of each car its not so bad though. Raven and Legend are 2 bench and they are smooth

Look, the more the articulation, the better the ride, however with the very close 1 bench articulation, you get excellent maneuvering, but a less comfortable ride, the lapbars can be smashed down easily.

on PTCs, they are legal to ride in "one-click" mode, meaning they are airtime machine cars. no they dont produce the airtime, but they distrubute it to the rider the best.

if Mean streak is terrible, it is not a question of the train, its the track baby!

"the rate of acceleration itself changes"

Wrong! its only gravity, and gravity NEVER CHANGES

Klockster, Just read in my blog, refresh your memory, I can explain it well.

I hope that Top Gun goes also. It is a fun ride and all and it never has a long line. If they took that out they could maybe build another big Roller Coaster.

Yeah I get it now. I was thinking of acceleration due to gravity in respect to the direction of travel. I know I was wrong!

PKI Punk, in no way do you get tons of air time on MF. It has a little bit of airtime on the two hills but nothing really big, MF is just built for speed. If you want airtime ride any of the Superman hypercoasters at the Six Flag parks, once you ride them you'll then truely know what airtime is.

If enough care is given, anything can last a long time, its just a matter if the cost outweighs the benifits, its just is PKI willing to do that, they didn't with King Cobra. Right now none of the coasters are haveing serious maintenance problems, so they will probably be around for a while.
